Description

Development of Yeast strains for ethanol production
Cross Reference to Related Applications
This patent application claims priority from U.S. provisional application No. 63/170,884 filed on 5, 4, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to yeast strains and derivatives thereof, and compositions comprising yeast strains for ethanol production. The present disclosure also relates to methods of producing ethanol from biomass using yeast strains and compositions. In particular, yeast strains produce lower glycerol and higher ethanol than the strains and products currently used in ethanol production processes, and have higher temperature and organic acid tolerance and higher fermentation rates.
Background
Ethanol may be produced from organisms using different biochemical pathways inherent to biological organisms. Ethanol produced by biological organisms is known as bioethanol and is therefore distinguished from ethanol produced by pure methods. Bioethanol is commercially produced and can be used as a liquid fuel in internal combustion engines (fuel ethanol), as a component in industrial products (industrial ethanol), or as a component in alcoholic beverages (potable ethanol).
Bioethanol is produced by biological organisms such as yeast. The yeast selected is advantageous for ethanol production, so that the production process and profitability can be optimized. Yeasts for commercial ethanol production require several characteristics, including adequate ethanol metabolic yield, adequate ethanol tolerance, acceptable byproduct yield, adequate fermentation kinetics, and a degree of heat resistance during fermentation. Yeasts of the genus Saccharomyces exhibit many of these characteristics that are required for commercial ethanol production. Commercial yeast products comprising yeast (Saccharomyces) include: ethanol Angel Super/>And Fali (AB->). Despite the favorable characteristics of commercial yeast strains and products for the production of ethanol, there is an increasing need to increase the efficiency of ethanol production to reduce the cost of manufacture.
Thus, there is a need for new and improved yeast (Saccharomyces) strains from which new and improved yeast products are produced. Improved yeast strains and products are needed to be able to increase the efficiency of commercial ethanol production by providing higher sugar to ethanol conversion, higher temperature tolerance, higher fermentation inhibitor tolerance and faster fermentation kinetics than the yeast strains and products currently in commercial use.

The terms "control" and "Y1609" are used interchangeably when discussing yeast strains, and the terms "control" and "Fali" are used interchangeably when discussing yeast products. Strain Y1609 was used to produce the yeast product Fali. Fali can be produced as active dry yeast products, crushed yeast products, and liquid yeast products for fermenting substrates to produce fuel ethanol, industrial ethanol, and potable ethanol. Fali is particularly useful for the fermentation of these sugars released from sucrose, glucose and fructose-containing biomass, as well as the fermentation of sugars released from starch-containing biomass after release of the sugars by enzymatic or chemical processes. Fali can be used for starch bottom Batch fermentation, continuous fermentation, and Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) of the material. It has high tolerance to released glucose and high cell count>20x10 9 Individual cells/g), medium ethanol and temperature tolerance, medium organic acid tolerance. It is well rehydrated in direct delivery (pitch) applications and can be used with saccharification enzymes and alpha-amylase enzyme systems. Fali has optimal performance in the pH range of 4.0 to 5.0, but ferments well in the pH range of 3.5 to 6.0. The optimal fermentation temperature for Fali depends on the pressure present (e.g., organic acid, ethanol, and pH), but typically ferments well over a temperature range of about 32 ℃. Fali can be obtained from ABAre commercially available.
The term "fermentation medium" refers to an environment in which fermentation is performed using a fermenting organism, including fermentable substrates, i.e., a carbohydrate source (e.g., glucose) that is metabolized by the fermenting organism into a desired fermentation product (e.g., ethanol). The fermentation medium may comprise fermentation nutrients of the fermenting organism. Fermentation nutrients are widely used in fermentation technology and include nitrogen sources (such as urea ammonia, vitamins, minerals, or combinations thereof). "feed" is a fermentation medium, however, the composition of the feed may be different from the fermentation medium.
As used herein, "high yield ethanol production" refers to the production of ethanol by fermentation, wherein the ethanol yield approximates that of glucose. High ethanol production requires limited by-products (e.g., glycerol) and yeast growth during fermentation.
As used herein, the terms "enhanced," "increased," "enhanced," or "larger" refer to an increase or improvement in a particular characteristic or trait as compared to other similar organisms, control or wild-type organisms. Typically, this is a beneficial trait associated with fermentation.
The term "inoculum" means the amount of microorganisms added to the main fermenter to start the fermentation process. In fermentation processes using seed fermenters, the inoculum is typically an amount of preculture corresponding to 5% to 20% of the volume of the main fermentor.
The term "isolated" refers to a form or an environment in which matter does not exist in nature. Non-limiting examples of isolated substances include (1) any non-naturally occurring substance, (2) any substance, including but not limited to any enzyme, variant, nucleic acid, protein, peptide, or cofactor, that is at least partially removed from one or more or all of the naturally occurring components with which it is associated in nature; (3) Any substance that is modified by humans compared to substances found in nature; or (4) any substance modified by increasing the amount of the substance relative to other components with which it is naturally associated (e.g., recombinant production in yeast; multiple copies of a gene encoding the substance; and use of a stronger promoter than the promoter naturally associated with the gene encoding the substance). The separated material may be present in the fermentation broth sample; for example, yeast may be genetically modified to express specific polypeptides. The fermentation broth from the yeast will comprise the isolated polypeptide.
The term "low pH" as used herein refers to a pH of about 2.5 to about 4.5. The low pH is preferably less than about 4.5. As used herein, the term "normal pH" refers to a pH of about 4.0 to about 6.0. The normal pH is preferably about 5.0.
The term "main fermenter" as used herein is the final fermenter used in a fermentation process for producing a fermentation product, wherein the desired fermentation product is produced.
The term "parent" or "parent" strain refers to a yeast strain from which the derivative strain is derived. In some embodiments, the derivative may also be the parent.
The term "preculture" is understood as a liquid positive growth culture for inoculating microorganisms (i.e. yeasts) of the main fermenter. Positive growth means that the culture is in a stage where the microorganism increases the number of cells. Precultures are often used as seeding materials to avoid or reduce lag phases in the main fermenter. During fermentation to produce ethanol, the cells in the pre-fermentor are typically conditioned. The idea is not to produce yeast biomass because the carbon in the biomass reduces the carbon entering the ethanol. There is fermentative growth, but it is undesirable to promote aerobic growth (e.g., using a seed fermenter). Alternatively, yeast may be added directly to the main fermenter by "direct feeding".
As used herein, the terms "property" and "defined characteristics" of the saccharomyces cerevisiae (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) strain detailed herein include at least increased ethanol production under the same process conditions as compared to a control (i.e., fali or Y1609). Other "properties" and "defined characteristics" include, inter alia, increased temperature tolerance, increased fermentation rate, increased tolerance to organic acids, increased ethanol production, and decreased glycerol production. For example, a fermenting organism described herein used in a process described herein can have one or more of the above "properties" and "defining characteristics.
The term "pre-fermenter" means a fermenter in which a pre-culture is formed by fermenting microorganisms until yeast is activated and conditioned for inoculation into the main fermenter. When the pre-fermenter is not used, a "direct launch" is used.
As used herein, a "substrate" is a molecule that can be directly or indirectly metabolized to ethanol by fermentation of yeast (Saccharomyces) or any of the yeasts or yeast products described herein.
The term "wild type" as used herein refers to a typical form of an organism or genetic material thereof, as it typically occurs, as distinguished from a selected organism.
The terms "yeast product" and "composition" are used interchangeably herein and as used herein refer to a composition comprising, among other things, dry yeast, starch, and an emulsifier. The yeast product may also be a liquid composition comprising, among other things, cream yeast, glycerin and xanthan gum.
Unless defined otherwise herein, scientific and technical terms related to the present disclosure shall have the meanings commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. For example, any terms and techniques described herein relating to cell biology, molecular biology, microbiology, genetics, protein and nucleic acid chemistry are well known and commonly used in the art. The meaning and scope of the terms should be clear; however, if there are any potential ambiguities, the definitions provided herein take precedence over any dictionary or extrinsic definitions. Furthermore, unless the context requires otherwise, singular terms shall include the plural and plural terms shall include the singular.

For example, in some embodiments, a composition as described herein is more effective than a typical yeast product used for fermentation (e.g., fali, ethanolAngel Super/>) Has higher ethanol yield, lower glycerol yield, higher fermentation rate, higher temperature tolerance and higher organic acid tolerance; in some embodiments, the composition as described herein is combined with a typical yeast product for fermentation (e.g., fali, ethanol->Angel Super/>) Lower levels of glycerol are produced and significantly higher ethanol yields are achieved than with higher fermentation rates; in some embodiments, the composition as described herein is combined with a typical yeast product for fermentation (e.g., fali, ethanol- >Angel Super/>) Has a higher fermentation rate and produces lower levels of glycerol than would otherwise be produced.
4. Ethanol production
Described herein are methods for producing ethanol from a substrate by contacting the substrate with a fermenting organism or a composition comprising a fermenting organism. The fermenting organism is selected from the group consisting of yeast strains and derivatives thereof described herein. Saccharomyces cerevisiae (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Y1912, Y1913, Y1914, Y1919, Y1923, Y1927, Y1929, or fermenting organisms having substantially the same properties as the yeast strains described herein or derivatives of the yeast strains described herein with defined characteristics may be used in the methods described herein. Also described herein are fermentation products comprising any of the yeasts described herein. Further described herein are fermentation products obtained by the methods described herein. The fermentation products may include, but are not limited to, fuel ethanol, industrial ethanol, potable ethanol, bioethanol, fermented foods (such as alcoholic beverages, cultured milk and yogurt, wine, beer, cider, indonesia fermented soybean, miso, kimchi, pickled vegetables, and fermented sausage).
The fermentation is carried out in a fermentation medium. The fermentation medium comprises a fermentation substrate, i.e. a carbohydrate source such as biomass, which is metabolized by the fermenting organism. The fermentation medium may comprise nutrients of the fermenting organism. Nutrients are widely used in fermentation processes and include nitrogen sources, vitamins, minerals, or combinations thereof.
In one embodiment, the strain or derivative or composition as described herein is incubated with a substrate comprising fermentable sugars from biomass (e.g., plant biomass from forests and/or from agricultural or food processing products and/or byproducts) that constitutes a substantial carbon source for the production of the molecule of interest. The strain or derivative is incubated with the substrate under conditions that allow for fermentation of the fermentable sugar. The fermentable sugar may be glucose, galactose, maltose, fructose, sucrose, mannose, or a combination thereof. Typically, the fermentable sugars are glucose and sucrose. The source of fermentable sugars in the substrate may be any source containing fermentable sugars. For example, the fermentable sugars in the substrate may be from any one or more of the following sources: hydrolyzed starch, hydrolyzed cellulose, molasses (from sugar cane or sugar beet), sugar cane juice, agave, sugar beet juice, grape juice, fruit juice, glucose, hydrolyzed maltodextrin, raw sugar juice, galactose, sucrose, any other form of fermentable sugar or combinations thereof. Starch may be obtained from any starch-rich crop. Examples of starch-rich crops include, but are not limited to, corn, wheat, barley, tapioca, sorghum, sweet potato, millet, rice, or any other starch-rich crop. In preparing the substrate, the crop is typically crushed and mixed with water and a hydrolase under conditions that cause the starch to hydrolyze and release fermentable sugars (e.g., glucose). Typical enzymes for hydrolyzing starch include alpha-amylase, amyloglucosidase, pullulanase, beta-amylase, glucoamylase, or mixtures thereof.
Typically, fermenting organisms such as yeast (including Saccharomyces cerevisiae) require a sufficient nitrogen source to reproduce and ferment. Many nitrogen sources may be used and such nitrogen sources are well known in the art. The nitrogen source may be organic, such as urea or corn steep liquor, or inorganic, such as ammonia or ammonium hydroxide or ammonium salts.
In a particular embodiment, the biomass may comprise or be derived from sugar cane, sugar beet, sweet sorghum, agave, corn, wheat, rice, barley, rye, sorghum, triticale, potato, sweet potato, tapioca, or combinations thereof. In a particular embodiment, the substrate is provided in the form of corn slurry or Synthetic Corn Medium (SCM). Methods of preparing mashed corn are known in the art and are described, for example, in Thomas et al, (2001) Journal of Applied Microbiology,90,819-828. Methods of preparing substrates that function similarly to SCM are known in the art and are described, for example, in U.S. patent No. 10,106,823, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Methods of preparing starch-based substrates are also described, for example, in PCT publication No. 2006/113683 or U.S. patent publication No. 2007/0014905.
The sugar content of the fermentation medium can be adjusted to be as high as possible while ensuring as rapid and complete conversion of the sugar into ethanol as possible. Preferably, the yeast converts all of the sugars in the medium to ethanol and the total yield of consumed sugars to ethanol is as high as possible and, therefore, minimal by-products (such as glycerol) are produced during fermentation.
The fermentation is carried out at a temperature that allows fermenting the fermentable sugar. Generally, the higher the fermentation temperature, the more economical the industrial process. Typically, the fermentation is carried out at a temperature of 25-42 ℃ (i.e. from 25 ℃ to 42 ℃). Suitable temperature ranges include 25-41 ℃, 26-40 ℃, 27-40 ℃, 28-40 ℃, 29-40 ℃, 30-40 ℃, 25-39 ℃, 26-39 ℃, 27-39 ℃, 28-39 ℃, 29-39 ℃, 30-39 ℃, 31-39 ℃, 32-39 ℃, 33-39 ℃, 25-38 ℃, 26-38 ℃, 27-38 ℃, 28-38 ℃, 29-38 ℃, 30-38 ℃, 31-38 ℃, 32-38 ℃, 33-38 ℃, 25-37 ℃, 26-37 ℃, 27-37 ℃, 28-37 ℃, 29-37 ℃, 30-37 ℃, 31-37 ℃, 32-37 ℃, 33-37 ℃, 25-36 ℃, 26-36 ℃, 27-36 ℃, 28-36 ℃, 29-36 ℃, 30-36 ℃, 31-36 ℃, 32-36 ℃, 33-36 ℃, 25-35 ℃, 26-35 ℃, 27-35 ℃, 28-35 ℃, 29-35 ℃, 30-35 ℃, 31-35 ℃, 32-35 ℃, or 33-35 ℃.
Methods of fermentation and distillation are known in the art and are described, for example, in WO 2006/113683 or US 2007/0014905. In particular, ethanol production as described herein may be performed using simultaneous saccharification and fermentation ("SSF"), batch fermentation, or continuous fermentation.
a. Synchronous saccharification and fermentation ('SSF')
SSF is widely used in industrial scale fermentation product production processes, particularly ethanol production processes. When SSF is performed, the saccharification step and fermentation step are performed simultaneously. Saccharification does not have a hold stage, which means that the fermenting organism (e.g. yeast) and enzyme can be added together. However, separate addition of fermenting organisms and enzymes (i.e. Step Hydrolytic Fermentation (SHF)) is also contemplated. SSF may be performed at a temperature of 25 ℃ to 40 ℃, such as 28 ℃ to 35 ℃, such as 30 ℃ to 34 ℃, preferably about 32 ℃. In one embodiment, the fermentation lasts from 6 to 120 hours, in particular from 24 to 96 hours, and preferably about 50 hours. In one embodiment, the pH is from about 3.0 to about 6.0, preferably from about 4.0 to about 5.0.
After fermentation (e.g., SSF), ethanol may be separated from spent fermentation media or beer. Beer can be rectified or distilled to recover/extract the desired fermentation products (i.e., ethanol and higher alcohols). Alternatively, the desired fermentation product (i.e., ethanol) may be extracted from the fermentation medium by microfiltration or membrane filtration techniques known in the art. The fermentation product (i.e., ethanol) may also be recovered by steam stripping or other methods known in the art.
In some embodiments, the ethanol is not recovered/extracted from the fermentation medium or beer, such as for use in producing an alcoholic beverage.
b. Batch fermentation
Batch fermentation is fermentation performed in separate batches. Batch fermentation is a process in which a fermentation medium is provided starting from a fermenter which is inoculated with the desired microorganism (i.e. yeast, yeast product) and the fermentation process is continued until a predetermined condition is reached, typically the consumption of substrate in the fermentation medium and the resulting cessation of ethanol production by the consumption. Once the process is complete, the product is removed from the fermenter and the fermenter is sterilized prior to the next fermentation. The contents are then the final product (e.g. wine) or may be rectified/distilled (e.g. fuel ethanol and whiskey).
Fed-batch processes may also be used. A fed-batch process is a fermentation in which a portion of the fermentation medium is provided from the beginning of the fermentation process with the addition of an inoculum and at some point in time after the start of the fermentation, the feed enters the fermenter at a rate predetermined or determined by the conditions in the fermenter; until the maximum volume is reached. The feed may or may not have the same composition as the initial fermentation medium. The contents are then the final product (e.g. wine) or may be rectified/distilled (e.g. fuel ethanol and whiskey).
c. Continuous fermentation
Continuous fermentation allows for long fermentation without the need for batch fermentation. A continuous fermentation process is a process in which fresh growth medium is continuously fed into a fermenter and fermentation broth is withdrawn from the fermenter at the same rate while the volume in the fermenter is kept constant. The contents are then the final product (e.g. wine) or may be rectified/distilled (e.g. fuel ethanol and whiskey).
5. Ethanol
As described herein, the ethanol produced by the yeast and its derivatives may be fuel ethanol, industrial ethanol, and/or potable ethanol. Fuel ethanol, industrial ethanol, and potable ethanol can be produced from biomass containing starch, including starch in cereals (e.g., corn, wheat, rice, sorghum/milo, barley, etc.), and starch in tubers and root vegetables (e.g., potato, tapioca, etc.); and the vegetative parts of plants containing sucrose, glucose and fructose (e.g., sugar cane, sweet sorghum, sugar beet, agave, etc.); and fruits and berries from plants containing sucrose, glucose and fructose (e.g., grape, orange, peach, cherry, etc.).
Fuel ethanol and industrial ethanol can also be produced from plant biomass containing cellulose and hemicellulose, such as cereal crop residues (e.g., wheat and rice straw, corn stover, corn cobs, etc.), from corn fiber, from so-called energy crops (e.g., switchgrass and poplar), from wood material waste (including saw mill residues (e.g., sawdust and wood chips)), from pulp and paper manufacturing residues, and waste paper and board.
a. Ethanol fuel
The manufacture of fuel ethanol is for an internal combustion engine and may be made as anhydrous or aqueous fuel ethanol. The anhydrous fuel ethanol may be mixed with gasoline to form an ethanol/gasoline mixture or with diesel to form an ethanol/diesel mixture. The aqueous fuel ethanol can be used directly as a fuel for an internal combustion engine.
b. Industrial ethanol
The manufacture of industrial ethanol is used in a variety of applications, including as a solvent for pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, detergents, household cleaners and disinfectants, paints and inks; and as chemical intermediates for the manufacture of ethyl acetate, ethyl acrylate, polyethylene, acetic acid and other organic molecules of industrial importance.
c. Drinking ethanol
The production of potable ethanol is for human consumption, including ethanol in wine, beer, cider, sake, honey wine, kang Pucha, and distilled spirits, including whiskey, bouillon, coffee, chinese spirits, white spirits, and the like.

7. Examples
The foregoing may be better understood by reference to the following examples which are intended for the purpose of illustration only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. The present disclosure has various aspects and embodiments, illustrated by the attached non-limiting examples.
Example 1
Materials and methods
Synthetic Corn Media (SCM) was used in the following examples. SCM mimics corn steep liquor, which is commonly used in industrial bioethanol production. SCM is intended to reflect the chemical composition of yellow dent corn #2 in terms of sugar and nutrient availability. SCM reflects a high gravity model corn system with a solids content of 32% and a starch content of about 72% and a final ethanol yield of 13-14% (w/v). The synthetic nature of the medium allows for stringent replication of the test conditions for each experiment.
The medium is used to monitor the performance of yeast in a Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation (SSF) process, wherein starch in the medium is broken down into glucose by the use of glucoamylase (saccharification), and glucose is used simultaneously (simultaneously) by the yeast for the production of ethanol (fermentation).
Preparation of SCM. 1L of SCM complete medium was prepared by adding 500g of water to a 2L beaker. The ingredients in table 1 were added to the beaker and less than 100 milliliters of water was used in total. The solution was stirred at 300rpm and gradually heated to 75 ℃. Once the solution reached 75 ℃, it was removed from the heat and cooled to ambient temperature while mixing. During mixing, 100.0ml of the 10×scm vitamin mixture (table 2) and 10.0ml of the 100×scm mineral mixture (table 3) were added to the solution. Then, while stirring, 25.0mL of SCM amino acid slurry (Table 4), 1.2G of urea (550 ppm nitrogen equivalent), 0.400mL of a Virginia mycin stock solution (1.0 ppm) and 0.1G of penicillin G powder (100 ppm) were added to the solution. The solution was transferred to a 1 liter volumetric flask and made up with water to 1 liter. The pH of the solution was adjusted to 5.0-5.2 with 28% sulfuric acid or 28% ammonium/potassium hydroxide. The solution was mixed by inversion and further stirring at 300-450 rpm. Representative samples of the solutions were collected for specific gravity measurement and HPLC analysis.

Table 4: composition of 200 ml SCM amino acid slurry
For each yeast strain, 100.00±0.10mL of SCM was added to each test sample container. Each test sample was tested in at least three replicates. All test sample containers with SCM were incubated at 150rpm for 1 to 2 hours at 32 ℃ to equilibrate to temperature. The specific gravity of each sample container was measured with a densitometer. Samples were removed from the sample containers for HPLC analysis. The sample container was rotated to ensure all cells were suspended and 1.9mL of sample container medium was placed into a 2mL microcentrifuge tube. The sample was centrifuged at 3000rpm for 10 minutes. The supernatant was poured into a syringe with a pre-installed 0.2 μm filter and the filtrate was collected into a glass HPLC vial. HPLC vials with samples can be stored at +4 ℃ for up to 1 month or analyzed immediately prior to HPLC analysis.
Isolating the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain. Methods of isolating yeast strains from agar plates are known in the art.
And (5) culturing yeast. 2.5mL of yeast culture (i.e., yeast in common yeast growth medium; e.g., glucose yeast peptone medium (GYP)) was inoculated into a sample vessel with SCM to 1.0X10 6 Final cell concentration of individual cells/mL.
Yeast slants or colonies on plates. The whole 10. Mu.L of cells on the loop were inoculated in 50mL of 2% sterile GYP. The cultures were incubated overnight at 32℃or 36℃and 150rpm to give 1X 10 8 Cell concentration of individual cells/mL. 2.5mL of culture was inoculated into a sample vessel with SCM to 2.5X10 6 Final cell concentration of individual cells/mL. Immediately after all yeast samples were added, 10-fold dilution of glucoamylase was added to the sample container. In the case of 140. Mu. LSpirizymeFuel HS addition, 224. Mu.L was added to the Spirizyme Ultra. If an alternative glucoamylase is used, the enzyme dosage must be properly adjusted to 100 ml on a 32% dry corn solids basis. Typically, the dose is expressed in% w/w units, so that the SCM solution density needs to be considered.
The sample container is closed with a airlock cover. The pressurized air lock was filled with 9 ml of sterile water. The best approach is to place the tip of the pipette into the air lock and dispense as close as possible to the air bubble. The sample containers were incubated at 32℃or 36℃at 150rpm and 80% humidity for 50 hours. The weight of the sample containers was measured before incubation and at the following time points after the start of incubation: 18. 24, 44 and 50 hours. After 50 hours of incubation, the sample containers were removed from the incubator and sampled using HPLC analysis as described above. The specific gravity of the sample container was measured with a densitometer. The pH of the remaining sample in the sample container is then measured. After pH measurement, yeast cell concentration and viability were measured on a hemocytometer using methylene blue.
And (5) carrying out statistical analysis. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was performed on the final mass loss, ethanol, glycerol and glucose values, and 95% confidence intervals (95% ci) were calculated for each analyte. Preferably, a SAS JMP procedure is used, for example.
